I truly take my hat off to people who work in this heat and for long hours too.

As a young lad in the Navy(Seabees) I had to go to Gitmo Cuba and work on tarring roofs.
Even though we worked tropical hours, 7AM to 1PM, this experience was a major factor in motivating me to work hard in school after my service and not have to work like that the rest of my life!!!
